The Calc manual mentions that all three act the same in
calc-dispatch-map, so they all should all be available. That's just a
matter of adding one line to Martin's patch.
To make it less opaque, perhaps C-letter could be handled with something
like
(define-key map (vector (list 'control (car x))) (cdr x)))
(or something better) instead of
(define-key map (char-to-string (- (car x) ?a -1)) (cdr x)))
